hey all that are involved in my liverock order
darren and i had a mixup, i thought he was shipping tomorrow, he thought he was shipping next friday.

so...... no pickups tomorrow.
i'll try to pm everyone as well.

sorry about this, i'll take the blame, we were miscommunicating, and i should have caught it.

Do you know where about in the airport you'll be picking this stuff up at?

I could possibly meet you at the airport.

Thanks
Bob
at DTW, i need to call delta to find out where the freight reception takes place. i'll post more details as i get them.


i guess i should say this, if anyone still wants to pick up from me in lansing thats fine, it'd just be later. i'm figuring i'll be back here between 10 and 10:30

Let me know where you will be stopping and I can meet you. There are alot of places to meet at 23 and m-59. Let me know if this would work for you and others or I could just meet you at the airport. Thanks

Peanut,

If you want let me know where about on 696 and time you want to meet. You mentioned wixom rd. That would work.
Any updates regarding where the shipment pickup will take place?
If it's easier I could meet anywhere along 696 as well.
Greenb as soon as I know when we can get it, I will call the number you left me. I have made arrangements so far to meet at 696 and orchard lake road maybe in the occ campus parking lot to transfer the rock. If you want.
Ok I'm a little confused, though glad to hear pickup is later at night! Was having a water crisis with my holding tank, but all will be well in a couple hours. :mad: John I'm at the Whitmore Lake exit. So if you're heading north on 23, you could get off there and stop at the Clark gas station. If anyone else is around the Brighton area, I can go to another exit as well. Just want to make this as easy as possible for you. Thanks for all your hard work!

John and Doug,

Thank you so much for your trouble. The rock looks great and I didn't even get to pick it out. Thanks for leaving some good stuff guys. Sure beats the stuff around town at 5.99 and up a pound.

Rob
Umm I'm not sure if they sent me the correct amount. I put almost half of it in my 15g and I drained 5g first. I put the rock in and put 4 gallons back in. Water weighs 7lbs a gallon, right? So that's only 7 lbs of rock in there? I'll take it all out tomorrow and weigh it again, but what is the course of action to take if I indeed do not have all 70lbs?

Thanks for putting this all together John!
you should be really close. displacement is different then weight, if i recall. so you will want to directly weigh it.

we were kind of guessing on splitting up at the cargo station because we didnt have scales :)
the total ship weight was correct, so at worst we'll have to go beat some locals up :)

/john
no problem on the rock. darren did most of it in SC, so we basically grabbed boxes and ran

everyone should be really close on weight. the tonga was pre packaged in its own, the fiji was a bit dispursed. we got it as close as we could, but somone may owe somone a rock here or there, except doug, he got the coolest single fiji piece i saw, it was HOOGE :)

anyway, im tired and going to bed.

/john
Thanks alot John and Doug. The rock looks great and mine was pretty close in weight, within a pound or two. Thanks again.

Tom
give me a couple hours pjr :)
i had a seam on my overlfow come loose so i couldnt put anything in the tank untill i did the ol'e weldon thing
